“Pareidolia” at Antler Gallery.

Currently on view at Antler Gallery in Portland, Oregon is the group exhibition, “Pareidolia,” curated by Casey Weldon.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud or rock formations. In this show we ask artists to illustrate this phenomenon, fooling the audience into seeing something that isn’t really there, or is not immediately registered, at first glance.  Artists have created an imaginative assortment of visual tricks for this exhibition.

(Artists above: Allison Reimold, Casey Weldon, David Seidman, Amy Sol, Jason Limon, Rachael Bridge, Abby Fields and  Craig Cundiff)

“Pareidolia” will be on view until April 21st, 2019.

Leche de Mipalo:  New Work

Leche de Mipalo, previously featured in Cross Connect, works in the highly specialized field of glitch art, where image failures are turned into artwork.  Typically they are pulsing or strobing gifs with old computer or game imagery.  Rarely are they as precisely choreographed and erotically charged as this work.  The fascinating toolbox of this artist:  VCR’s, Digital Camera, Minidv Cam, quartz, text editors, Max, VLC and other video compression apps

Scott Listfield’s “Franchise.”

Paintings from artist Scott Listfield’s recent exhibition “Franchise,” which was on display last month at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, California.  The brilliant series depicts the iconic signage of fast food institutions (as well as sly references to “Bob’s Burgers,” “Star Wars,” and Netflix’s “Stranger Things” among others) being rediscovered by Listfield’s ever-wandering astronaut in a distant, dystopian future.
